Upon seeing Lin Jing, the elder immediately greeted him with a fawning smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Esteemed senior, may I know what kind of merchandise you’re looking for? Whether it’s a noble family’s daughter or a demon tribe’s maiden, our shop has it all…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing glanced at the old man and said bluntly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where do you keep your merchandise? Take me to see it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certainly, senior, please follow me…” said the old man with a sly eye, leading Lin Jing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the shop, they found themselves in a large courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, many cages were placed in the yard, containing various ‘items’ whose cultivation had been sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ‘items’ included men, women, elderly, and children, but most were young men and women, as they were the most saleable and in highest demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their purposes varied greatly upon purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were used as vessels for possession, some as alchemical catalysts, and even more were used as cauldrons for dual cultivation, or as necessary mediums for practicing certain Demonic Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate of these people was generally very grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a very few might fare slightly better, but the best outcome was merely keeping their lives, rather than dying outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, there were various ‘items’ with clearly marked prices, and even several cultivators, led by attendants, were selecting merchandise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what kind of merchandise senior needs, I can make recommendations for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing then said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need one or two youths around twenty years old, to serve as catalysts for my Alchemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me to see them now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the sly-eyed old man seemed to have an epiphany and said with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it turns out the senior is here for alchemy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We may not have much of many things, but we certainly have plenty of young men and women. They will surely satisfy the senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please follow me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the sly-eyed old man led Lin Jing deeper into the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Lin Jing saw that most of the ‘items’ in the cages were listless, like walking corpses, and some were even tied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from their angry eyes, one could see their humiliation and unwillingness to accept their fate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing followed the old man with the sly eye all the way to the very back of the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the old man pointed to several neat rows of cages against the wall and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From here, all the way to the cages against the wall, are young men. The senior may choose at will…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing nodded and began to search…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cages, stacked in two levels, housed the young men like farmed animals, locked within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were ragged, their faces dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created no small trouble for Lin Jing in his search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, fortunately, Lin Jing had met Lin Jue twice before and was quite familiar with some of his characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his Divine Sense, Lin Jing could immediately confirm whether the person was the one he was looking for, which made his search go quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Lin Jing proceeded with his search, while the sly-eyed old man watched him shaking his head ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as he was nearing the end,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing finally caught sight of a familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was the dark-skinned youth who had been sold together with Lin Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the memories of the Liu surname cultivator, Lin Jing knew that this dark-skinned youth had been sold together with Lin Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the dark-skinned youth was bound all over, but his eyes still had a stubborn look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he was an undaunted individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing approached him and observed the dark-skinned youth, who stubbornly turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while, Lin Jing nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sly-eyed old man, who had been by his side the whole time, immediately asked eagerly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you taken a liking to this ‘item’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although it doesn’t look like much, it’s quite suitable as a catalyst for alchemy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing nodded lightly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So far, this one seems to be the most satisfactory, but I would still like to see if there are any others that are better…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man with the sly eye responded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please take your time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Lin Jing had examined them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had not seen any trace of Lin Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Jing frowned and said to the squint-eyed old man:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘goods’ you have here, is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The quality is really not that great. Don’t you have anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squint-eyed old man smiled sheepishly and then spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Replying to the senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, these are all we have here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the senior isn’t satisfied, the only option would be to go to the Black Shark Auction House.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve always cooperated with the Black Shark Auction House; any relatively high-quality ‘goods’ are sent there for auction…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing asked the squint-eyed old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squint-eyed old man nodded repeatedly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without hiding anything from the senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our little shop has an extraordinary relationship with the Black Shark Gang, so any quality ‘goods’ are sent to the Black Shark Auction House for auction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like a couple of days ago, a young man, who was a Second-Grade Alchemist, was deemed high-quality ‘goods’ and was sent to the Black Shark Auction House.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The young man sent to the Black Shark Auction House is the same one you showed interest in just before, along with that dark-skinned youth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Jing immediately tensed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second-Grade Alchemist mentioned by the squint-eyed old man must certainly be Lin Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else could it be, sent alongside the dark-skinned youth, except him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Second-Grade Alchemist…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Second-Grade Alchemist you mentioned, has he already been sold at auction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Jing’s reaction, the squint-eyed old man also hurriedly asked him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that the senior is very interested in that Second-Grade Alchemist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing then spoke bluntly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I often refine medicine, and having a Second-Grade Alchemist skilled in alchemy to assist me would save me a lot of trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up and tell me, has that Second-Grade Alchemist been sold at auction or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing appeared somewhat eager, but his reason was quite sound and reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squint-eyed old man had no doubts; after all, he had spent decades here and had seen all kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen many like Lin Jing, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Lin Jing was certainly a demon cultivator who practiced demonic techniques and was the kind who disliked interacting with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he would come to Black Xing Island to buy the medicinal primers he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, the squint-eyed old man said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, that Second-Grade Alchemist probably hasn’t been sold yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was brought here just a couple of days ago, and the next auction at the Black Shark Auction House is scheduled for tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the senior wishes to buy that Second-Grade Alchemist, there should still be time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing then laughed heartily, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha… good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take that Second-Grade Alchemist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squint-eyed old man, seeing how intent Lin Jing was on the Second-Grade Alchemist youth, immediately felt a burst of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was responsible for guiding Lin Jing, and if Lin Jing bought ‘goods,’ he would receive a reward of Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Jing didn’t buy any ‘goods’ here, then he would get nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he spoke carefully and swiftly asked Lin Jing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ‘good’ you were just looking at, do you still want it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much are you selling that ‘good’ for in Spirit Stones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Lin Jing’s affirmation, the squint-eyed old man was instantly delighted, reinvigorated, and quickly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, although the youth isn’t very old, he has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, with his cultivation, he could have been sold for at least five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; however, his talent isn’t very good, and his dark skin is disliked by many, so the selling price is three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That price is a real bargain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to close a deal, the squint-eyed old man explained the price of the dark-skinned youth with both description and rationale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine then, three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Jing agree readily, the squint-eyed old man nodded repeatedly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, please wait here for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buying goods here requires going through some procedures. I’ll go handle it for you. When I return, we can exchange money for the goods, and the deal will be complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll wait for you here, but make it quick. I still need to go to the Black Shark Auction House to inquire about that Second-Grade Alchemist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squint-eyed old man hurriedly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, rest assured, I’ll be right back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Additionally…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a copy of the Black Shark Auction House’s auction list here. I’ll bring a copy for the senior in a moment, so you won’t have to go through the trouble of inquiring at the Black Shark Auction House…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1774,"2026-06-05T22:03:17.444Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce062bfd777883633e09b76b4e6b33e78092090a4844464fae835fb71a518293","immortality-cultivation-i-farm-in-the-system-spa-chapter-404","immortality-cultivation-i-farm-in-the-system-spa-chapter-402",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-farm-in-the-system-spa-cover.jpg"]
